Lyrics:

I've walked the straight and narrow and I've worn a rebel's brand
Sometimes I've had to go without for bein' my own man
And I've rallied to the cause when I knew the cause was right
Yes, I've cut against the grain, but I've kept my peace of mind

And I wouldn't have it any other way
If there's a price for bein' me, but that's what I'll have to pay
I'll take the good and bear the bad until my dyin' day
And I wouldn't have it any other way
I wouldn't have it any other way

-- Instrumental --

I could take the beaten path every time the trouble starts
But I'd rather take a beatin' than to ever cross my heart
Stickin' to my guns, can't be sold or bought
Holdin' to my honor no matter what the cost

And I wouldn't have it any other way
If there's a price for bein' me, well that's what I'll have to pay
And I'll take the good and bear the bad until my dyin' day
And I wouldn't have it any other way
I wouldn't have it any other way

-- Instrumental --

I'll take the good and bear the bad until my dyin' day
And I wouldn't have it any other way
I wouldn't have it any other way
No, I wouldn't have it any other way
